Vanacore Academy of Irish Dance

✨ Competition Success! ✨

A huge congratulations to Ivy-Rose, who competed in her very first ‘big girl’ competition this weekend! 💚

After working so hard in class, she danced with confidence and came away with:
🥉 3rd Place – Beginners Reel
🥉 3rd Place – Beginners Single Jig
🏅 6th Place – Trophy Reel

This was also her first time performing on stage alongside other dancers, all dancing different choreography – a huge milestone in her Irish dancing journey.

We’re so proud of how far she’s come and how confidently she stepped onto the stage. Seeing our dancers grow in confidence, develop their skills and achieve their goals is what it’s all about.

Well done, Ivy-Rose – you’re a star in the making! ⭐☘️
